In a world of eight billion people and endless information, what difference can one second make?
On October 5, I walked into the United Nations Headquarters in New York City for the first time.
Surrounded by people from different countries and cultures, it felt like entering the world.
And a dream I've carried for years suddenly felt closer.
Through conversations with people working directly in their communities, I began to see new possibilities for expanding the work I've been doing for more than nine years: helping people learn to calm their minds in the middle of everyday life.
One of those conversations happened beneath a banner that read INNOVATION.
That word made me think.
We have so much information available to us. But in the middle of everything happening around us, how often do we give ourselves even one second to think before responding?
One second can change the words we choose, the decisions we make, or something we hadn't been able to see before.
I left the United Nations with my dream feeling closer.
And you don't need to walk into the United Nations to discover what one second can change.
IN CONVERSATION
What if something that looks completely normal is quietly taking over your life?
I returned to Rompiendo el Silencio for a live Spanish-language conversation about the patterns we don’t always recognize—in our work, phones, food, and everyday lives.
My question was simple: Do we have to wait for something to go wrong before we notice what we’re no longer living?

I left extra early because I was afraid of being late for live TV. A few hours later, I had forgotten I was on TV at all.
The day started in a self-driving car with no driver, slowly making its way across Los Angeles because it couldn’t take the freeways.
Then I walked into the makeup room.
Both hosts were there, and within minutes, we were talking as if we already knew each other—while the makeup artist kept asking me to stop moving because, apparently, I talk with my entire body.
Our other guest was Ana Laura Sánchez (IG @psic.analaurasanchez) a psychotherapist from Guadalajara. Another coincidence: just a few days later, I would be there too.
By the time we walked onto the set, it didn’t feel like a set anymore.
Before going live, one of the hosts gave us one direction: “Let’s not talk over each other.”
We all immediately said, “We’ll follow you.”
And from there, the conversation just flowed. It felt less like a TV panel and more like the conversation we had already started in the makeup room.
At the end of the program, I said something I hadn't planned:
“Even through a screen, you can feel that there is community.”
Only later did I realize:
I wasn't only talking about the audience.
I had just experienced it myself.

BEHIND THE SCENES
On September 10, I joined Rompiendo el Silencio for a live Spanish-language conversation around suicide prevention and the film We Are Never Alone.
It was my first live television experience. I arrived prepared, with pages of notes and ideas I wanted to communicate clearly.
Then the cameras turned on—and I discovered what “live” really means.
You prepare, but you don’t know exactly where a real conversation will take you.
We talked about a mother trying to understand why she lost her son, about a film born from a deeply personal experience, and about those moments in life when there may not be an answer to why.
That day reminded me of something I also see in my work: preparation matters, but presence matters too. Sometimes we have to let go of the answer in our head to make space for the conversation happening in front of us.
We Are Never Alone is still on its journey. If you’d like to follow the film and know when and where you can see it, subscribe to my newsletter.
The conversation continues.
